Can't Play Video Using the HV10
 

Well, my HV10 finally arrived today. I charged it, put in a JVC miniDV tape, and began to record around my house. When trying to review the footage, the play button had no effect. I could see the picture (which is very grainy) but there is no motion. How can I get it to play? Thanks!

More questions to come!

Do you have a SD card installed ?

No I don't. Is that required? I thought it was only for stills.

I think Lee meant:
 

maybe a still shot is "playing".

Try rewinding the tape and playing from both the power button and the deck button on the side (under the LCD screen).

sorry my English is not great and I'm a noob in video

It seems like my first HV10 was a lemon. Exchanged it for a new one. Anyway, thanks for the help everyone!
